Hematology | Blood Typing

you are a blessing to med students. thank you for existing, NINJA NERDS

I’m loving your videos. I’m a Medical Laboratory Scientist who works in a hospital lab and an instructor for immunohematology. I want to point out to you that there are many other surface antigens on the red cells other than The A and B antigens (ex: C,c,E,e,Kell,FyA,FyB, JkA,JkB etc) that also contribute to someone’s red cell genotype and phenotype. If exposed to the antigens they lack for these other antigen systems, patients can develop antibodies which can be dangerous for future transfusions and pregnancies. So while O is the universal donor that’s only half the story. If a patient has any clinically unexpected antibodies to these other red cell antigens they must be matched for those as well and A, B and Rh. Even though we teach entire courses for immunhematology and transfusion medicine that can’t be covered here it might be worth mentioning briefly that there are other antigens that exist on red cells and other antibodies certain patients may have that complicate transfusion.

I wish you were my doctor...a hell of a teacher..what a special gift you have. Not even the doctors explain the severity of the mixed blood and the affect between mother and fetus. My hat off to you.👏

I had never understood this topic before, but after your explanation it made me absolutely clear. Very well explained. Thanks a lot.

you are a true blessing to a whole lot of us out there, thank you very much what you do.

A born teacher... Thanks a million!

Thank you, Ninja Nerd, for posting this fantastic video. You are a gift to this generation!!!👏👏👏

I used to hate school and had no idea what the teachers were talking about until I met your videos . I watched most of your videos and I’m glad to say that I’ve been getting As because of you. Thank you soooooo much. You’re a Godsent

So great! I was so confused by this during class, but now that I have watched this, I understand it perfectly! Thank you, Sir!

You are simply amazing and your videos should be schools requisites. Thank you for everything that you do for all of us students.

I wish I had enough money to support you, I will remember this channel after I graduate in Med School! Thank you so much for sharing free knowledge! Metatron bless you!!

The way of teaching is awsome, keep it up and bring more videos like this so that Medical students will have a good onset in their topic.........thanks for this wonderful class ❤

8 dislikes are my faculty teachers

Only thing at 3:00, the Rh antibody is not naturally occurring like the A and B antibodies, so Rh antibodies only forms after the exposure to Rh positive blood.

So simple and very effortless to understand. Thank u for making it so simple,clear and comprehensive. Much love and respect

Wow i literally watched so many videos trying to grasp this and your video has helped me so much just to visually see what you are explaining helps. Thank you for you time and patience. I really appreciate it !!!! 🎉❤

Thank you from the bottom of my heart !!! i had to understand for the mother/foetus mismatched and YOU EXPLAINED IT SO WELL !!! God bless you <3

You simplified the blood type lecture in a very simple and easy-to-understand manner. By the way, I enjoy listening to all your lectures.

YOU'RE THE BEST. THANK YOU FOR HELPING ALL OF US!

Awesome video. I was struggling with this and didn’t think it would be something that I ever needed to worry about again. Now it has come back to haunt me as I prep for the MCAT. This video helped me understand it better now.
